epa08187755 An undated handout photo made available by the Lazzaro Spallanzani National Institute for Infectious Diseases (INMI) shows an image of the virus '2019-nCoV/Italy-INMI1' (Viral isolation on cells Vero E6) in Rome, Italy 02 February 2020. 'We have isolated the coronavirus' said the Italian Minister of Health Roberto Speranza during a press conference at the Spallanzani hospital in Rome, Italy, on 02 February 2020. 'Having isolated the virus means many opportunities to study, understand and better verify what you can do it to block the spread. It will be made available to the whole international community. Now it will be easier to treat it.' EPA/INMI SPALLANZANI HOSPITAL PRESS OFFICE HANDOUT -- BEST QUALITY AVAILABLE -- HANDOUT EDITORIAL USE ONLY/NO SALES

epa08252656 An undated handout picture made available by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) shows a transmission electron microscope image of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, isolated from a patient in the USA, with virus particles (round gold objects) seen emerging from the surface of cells cultured in the lab (issued 27 February 2020). The spikes on the outer edge of the virus particles give coronaviruses their name, crown-like. The novel coronavirus is on the verge of spreading across the world as more cases are emerging outside China with outbreaks in South Korea, Italy and Iran.

epa08351434 A handout picture made available on 08 April 2020 by the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation shows the SARS-COV-2 virus begin the infection process of cytoplasm of the cell, inside which is the nucleus, responsible for storing the genetic material of the cell. Brazilian scientists have captured images of the exact moment when the SARS-COV-2 virus infects a cell, the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz) of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the largest medical research center in Latin America, reported on 08 April 2020. The photographs were taken with a transmission electron microscope during a study on the viral replication of SARS-CoV-2 and show in detail the contamination process of a cell, according to a statement from Fiocruz.
